USING THE AIR CONDITIONER

Controls

Features and appearance will vary.

This section explains how to operate this air conditioner.

IMPORTANT: When you turn off the air conditioner, either at the control panel or with the remote control, wait at least 3 minutes before turning it back on. This prevents the compressor from overloading. This 3 minute delay also applies when switching from cool mode to fan and back.

NOTE: There is a built in 3 minute delay. You may notice the compressor might not start right away. This was designated to protect the unit.

Do not operate your air conditioner in the Cool Mode when the outside temperature is below 61° F (16° C). This inside evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not operate properly.

NOTE: When the air conditioner is first plugged in, the LED display will show “88” for 3 seconds. After the air conditioner is turned on for the first time, the display will show the temperature 72° F and the fan will automatically set the Quiet speed and the Mode indicator will show ENERGY SAVE.

NOTE: To switch the temperature display between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C), the air conditioner must be plugged in and turned on. On the control panel on the front of the air conditioner press the UP and DOWN button at the same time and hold for 3 seconds. Press F/C button on remote control to switch between Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C).

NOTE: Each time this ENERGY STAR qualified air conditioner is turned on, it will operate in energy save mode per the EPA requirements. You can select any other mode to satisfy your needs.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter is removable for easy cleaning. A clean air filter helps remove dust, lint and particles from the air for optimal cooling operating efficiency. The Filter Reset light will turn on to notify you that the air filter must be cleaned. The light goes on after the air conditioner has been operating for 240 hours.

1. Turn off the air conditioner and unplug the power supply cord from the outlet.

2. Remove the air filter by opening the front panel and removing the air filter. Some models may have a filter that slides out instead and does not require opening of the front panel.

3. Use a vacuum cleaner with the hose attachment to clean the air filter. If the air filter is very dirty, wash it in warm water with mild detergent. Do not wash the air filter in a dishwasher or clothes washer, or use any chemical cleaners. Do not use a cloth dryer or microwave oven to dry it. Air dry the air filter completely before placing it back in the unit.

4. Place the air filter back in the air conditioner.

5. Close the front panel.

6. Plug the power supply cord into the outlet, turn on the air conditioner and press the filter reset button to turn off the indicator light.

NOTE: Do not operate the air conditioner without the filter in place.

Cleaning the Front Panel

1. Turn off the air conditioner and unplug the power supply cord from the outlet.
2. Clean the front panel with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, especially spray cleaners, sharp instruments, or flammable fluids. These products can damage the surface of your air conditioner.
3. Air-dry the front panel completely.
4. Plug the power supply cord in the outlet and turn on the air conditioner.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages first and you may not need to call for service.

Normal Operating Sounds

■ You may hear a pinging noise caused by water being picked up and thrown against the condenser on rainy days or when the humidity is high. This design feature helps remove moisture and improve efficiency.

■ You may hear the thermostat click when the compressor cycles on and off.

■ Water will collect in the base pan during high humidity or on rainy days. The water may overflow and drip from the outdoor side of the unit.

■ The fan may run even when the compressor does not.

■ Water droplets being thrown against the outside coils can make a pinging noise. This helps cool the condenser. You can reduce this noise by removing the subbase water plug.

Removing this plug will lower the Energy Efficiency of your until.

NOTE: Do not drill hole in the base pan.
